Edito de 40 Feat: The Hot Tomato Anthology 1971-2011As American as Rock?n'Roll itself, Little Feat?s music transcends boundaries, a freewheeling fusion of California rock and Dixie-inflected funk-boogie. Also in the mix are strains of folk, blues, rockabilly, country and jazz, inventing a hybrid sound that is truly Little Feat?s own. In 2002, this legendary band formed their own label, Hot Tomato Records, ostensibly to release a series of what might best be described as official bootlegs (plus new studio recordings, 'Kicking It At The Barn', 2003 and 'Join The Band', 2008). Now comes '40 Feat', a thrilling, supercharged dip into the best of Little Feat?s own live recordings. From "The Fan" and "Crack In Your Door", recorded in Houston in 1971 with the original quartet through to "Roll Um Easy" and "Down On The Farm", recorded in 2004 (from 'Barnstormin? Live Volumes 1 & 2'), this set rattles off one Little Feat classic after another, including Bonnie Raitt guesting on a 1973 version of "Sailin? Shoes" and Lowell George?s solo demo of "Trouble". The band's guitarist Paul Barrere explains: "Our first releases, the box sets called 'Ripe and Raw Tomatoes' spanned 30 years of Little Feat live. It was really a great treat for our fans to get to glimpse into the vaults of Little Feat live." "Now thanks to Proper Records, here is a very cool sampling of the best of those live recordings we?ve done, past and present for Hot Tomato, as well as one song from 'Kickin? It At The Barn'.
